I didn't even click the link for the turbo, but as far as injectors/fmu go: You should go with a 12:1 fmu and stock injectors to run max 7-8psi. If you want more (which I wouldn't recommend on a DD) then you are going to need at LEAST an SFMU and larger injectors, then you can use 4g63 injectors with a resistor pack.

yeah, what he said, and that turbo will take a while to spool. peak boost @ maybe 42-4500. i have some 30# injectors for sale. gimmie $60 shipped.

Actually that 8:1 FMU will work just fine. Jamie (jack_of_trades) has written a comprehensive fuel guide that is in the Wiki part of the site now, here's the link:

that turbo is pretty big, and probably really shitty since they only want 220 for it(that turbo from garret is like 700 easy). that turbo has a .63 turbine housing, if you could find one with a .48 turbine housing, then you should see boost in the 3300 rpm range, just dont plan on ever making huge monster numbers with it.

dude, if you want boost like that, good luck. i had a 48/42 t3 and peak boost at 4k. i felt boost early but boost isn't peak boost. maybe the gst turbo can spool like that.

No, the stock turbos off the eclipses have mitsu flanges, not a t3 type flange.

TE04h flange, i believe.

its a gt25 dsm flange, not to be confused with the nissan gt25. the tdo4 is a first gen auto. the 5sp and 2nd gen has the tdo5h. this is to the best of my knowlage.

Ok so my best bet is do do an e-bay mani.(unless someone on here has a good one 4 sale please post if u do)and still on the lookout for a gst type spec turbo(if anyone has an extra please post lol) thanks for all the help my plans 4 now is do more research on some turbos and get my engine back togeather for now to get some breakin miles on it hopefully that will give me enough time and money to buy a good turbo thanks for the help u guys and more than likely u will be seeing me post during install so plz post me back with all u guy's great knowledge lol later and thanx again.
